Backsliding Animal Lyrics

Never try enough

Once my efforts disappoint

So desperate to turn

But I know I'm all talk

And if the choices change

That comforting hurt

Is the easier path

For a sinner to walk

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I only tell you what you want to hear

Got my alibis

And excuses all packed

Uncomfortable truths

Scheduled to cause setbacks

But I did not lie

I've never meant it more

This flesh is just weak

And we all know the score

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I only tell you what you want to hear

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I'm a backsliding animal

Always succeeding at failure

I only tell you what you want to hear
